Boric Acid Roach and Silverfish Killer Powder

PF Harris: A Legacy of Effective Pest Control Solutions

PF Harris boasts a long heritage of problem-solving, dating back to 1924 when the company tackled the persistent cockroach and water bug infestation at the Calvin Coolidge White House. The company's successful elimination of the pests earned the founder the moniker of "vermin slayer" on the front page of the Washington Times, for his decisive victory over the horde of cockroaches that had infested the lower regions of the Executive Mansion.

In the months that followed, Harris extended his "final feast" to dozens of government buildings, including the Senate Office Building, the Department of Justice, the Supreme Court, and Walter Reed Hospital, each time receiving high praise from the superintendents for the effective results.

Today, PF Harris remains nimble and responsive to evolving market demands, leading the way in the development of numerous products, including natural insect repellents like Swamp Gator and Swamp Gnat, which repel biting insects without the use of DEET. Beyond the products it sells, the company also helps customers find easy and economical solutions to pest problems through helpful labeling, instructive videos, and personal advice.

As America's oldest EPA-registered pest control company, PF Harris offers a reliable past and an innovative future. With more than 55 products, the company provides solutions to treat a wide range of pests, from roaches and bed bugs to scorpions and stink bugs.

One of the company's flagship products is the Harris Boric Acid Roach Powder, a fast-acting and effective solution for eliminating and preventing roach infestations. To use, simply shake the powder well before opening and create a barrier through which cockroaches and other insects must crawl, by puffing a light dusting in areas such as behind refrigerators, along baseboards, and in cracks and crevices where roaches have been spotted.

The powder contains a lure that roaches find irresistible, drawing them out of their hiding places. Boric acid works by interfering with the roach's digestive system, and the powder will also cling to the outside of the roach, helping to kill other roaches when the affected roach returns to the colony. Insects that come into contact with the boric acid will die within 72 hours, making it a fast-acting solution.

To effectively eliminate and prevent roaches, the powder can be used in combination with liquid insecticides to treat infested areas, such as in and around kitchens and bathrooms. Boric acid roach tablets can also be placed in hard-to-reach areas, and the roach powder can be used in locations not easily accessible with liquid insecticides. Sticky traps can also be employed to control infestations, with optimal placement being next to baseboards.

To prevent future infestations, it's important to remove excess food scraps, limit the availability of water, and seal any cracks and openings with caulk. The Harris Boric Acid Roach Powder continues to kill roaches, palmetto bugs, water bugs, and silverfish for weeks after application, as long as it remains dry.
